The morning will be marked by a lecture by Julien Berthaud, a specialist in the social integration of students, who will share his insights on how this integration becomes a genuine vector for success.Then, scientific papers and experience sharing will enrich our knowledge and spark constructive debate. Lunch will be an opportunity to discover innovative student projects, highlighted in an inspiring exhibition.The afternoon promises to be just as stimulating with a round table moderated by Sabine Henry, where experts will discuss service learning, educational entrepreneurship and spirituality. This dynamic dialogue will be followed by a closing activity: the fresco of engagement, a collective brainstorming session that will lay the foundations for an innovative educational game.Join us for this day of exchange and reflection, and help shape the future of education where student engagement and knowledge vivacity will be the cornerstones of a new educational paradigm.

Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.To help you meet them, we support you in developing your disciplinary, methodological and human skills... with the support of numerous professionals.

For future students Preparatory coursesTo get your first year of study off to a good start, we offer preparatory courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and English during the last two weeks of August. Of these, physics and chemistry are compulsory, and you choose two other subjects from mathematics, biology and English. In addition to the four disciplines, three activities are organized:seminars on the methodology of university work;a presentation of the first-year English course;a guided tour of the university site, the Faculty and the library.Second- and third-year students will also show you around the campus, your Faculty and the extra-academic activities organized in Namur. Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students The main aids offered in biology favor non-lecture forms to encourage students' self-help:Classical "Springboard" sessions These are organized according to students' requests. Different points of material, poorly understood, will be patiently re-approached, in a different way to that used in the theoretical course and most often by different teachers.Fun "Springboard" sessions Sessions are also planned to fix knowledge through clever games in small groups, while stimulating emulation or a light "for butter" competition. Q&A sessions These are organized by teachers or assistants to push students to review the material more holistically and build their confidence for assessments.Exam simulations and collective corrections These exercises are organized for certain exam questions with the aim of familiarizing students with MCQ-type assessments.Interactive forums These question-and-answer forums, available on WebCampus and in writing, are accessible to all.Directed revisions After practical work, these sessions enable students to understand and memorize the live model, correct errors, reconsider failing portions of material, address cross-cutting issues... Math labsMath labs are times when students in block1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography, biomedical can work on their math lessons by asking for one-off help from an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study. These labs are scheduled at the beginning of the term in the timetable of the students concerned.All detailed information is available on the Virtual Student Office (VSO).

Depending on requests, they are scheduled from week to week. The content of these sessions varies according to need: subject re-explanations, question-and-answer sessions, completion of additional exercises, correction of formative assessments, ...Chemistry workshopsChemistry workshops are only for students in the 1st block in Chemical or Physical Sciences. The aim of the chemistry workshops is to help you in your thinking and learning by working on the knowledge and skills specific to the discipline. Chemistry is not just a game of memorization. It's all about understanding. These workshops will aim to:To help you study more effectively so you don't waste countless hoursTo teach you to ask yourself the right questions to study profitablyTo help you better perceive your teachers' requirements and thus acquire the skills expected for assessmentYou will be provided with the tools to better understand your course, to practice key concepts to be able to solve problems similar to exam questions. During each workshop, an announced theme will be specifically addressed: How to approach a stoichiometric problem? How to visualize a molecule in space using molecular models? ...In the first quadrimester, a few chemistry workshops will be organized (in place of a physics workshop). In the second term, general chemistry and organic chemistry workshops will be offered at a time slot defined in the timetable.Chemistry MCQs - drill exercisesTo work on and deepen their 1st block general chemistry and organic chemistry courses, in addition to the TP and TD scheduled in your timetable, you have access to numerous MCQ exercises on WebCampus.Math labsMath labs are times when Block 1 chemistry, biology, geology, geography and biomedical students can work on their math lessons with the occasional help of an assistant present in the room, like a supervised study.

Discover the preparatory course program For first-year students Centralized information Regularly, modules called "flash info" are produced throughout the year for students. These "flash info" take the form of a short communication at the end of a theoretical course. Their aim is to present the various offers of help for success made available by all the University's services throughout the academic year, and to invite students in need to make use of them. Strengthening cross-disciplinary skillsTraining courses aimed at strengthening certain cross-disciplinary skills are organized at the request of students 3 times a year. Following a bottom-up logic, students are surveyed beforehand to identify their specific needs in order to guide the training theme (remediation session, rules for writing a report, producing a bibliography, assessment preparation device, etc.). By completing the survey, the student agrees to take part in the training course if he or she has expressed an interest in it. At the same time, all the tools and training courses are made available throughout the year on a Webcampus page.

In the sciences, the international dimension is essential! It's possible to explore beyond the borders of the Université de Namur to do an internship or take a course, or to work in a laboratory at another university in the country. The institution has established cooperation agreements with other universities and initiated numerous international research projects that encourage exchanges and researcher mobility.

A life well lived!
